Topic: There is always going to be a demand for pure human writers.

AI will only ever produce dry boring versions that’ll fail to captivate the human condition due to never being human. The job of the one dimensional writer is at risk, but not those who genuinely care about their art.

Why? Hollywood has always tried to take short cuts and those who actually want genuine stories written by human beings already flock toward independent films.
It's really no fucking different.

No, the difference is humans will eventually be unable to discern the difference.
Now, if you believe there's something special or metaphysically unique about the human mind, maybe it's tenable that you could believe there's an aspect of humanity (story telling) that AI will never be able to replicate.
But that's a silly position to take. To think that we are somehow not a part of the universe we inhabit and work differently from all other conceivable physical processes. So much progress in science has been had by firmly rejecting such a view. The Copernican principle started the modern scientific revolution and rejecting it because it offends your personal sensibilities is likely to lead nowhere, except, perhaps centuries into the past before the scientific revolution.

The idea that AI will eventually become indistinguishable from human intelligence is a commonly held belief in the field of artificial intelligence. However, the assertion that rejecting this idea is equivalent to rejecting the Copernican principle is not entirely accurate.
While it is true that many scientific advances have been made by rejecting the notion that humans are the center of the universe, the question of whether AI can fully replicate human storytelling abilities is a separate issue. It is not necessarily a matter of anthropocentrism or the belief that humans are unique and special, but rather a question of whether storytelling requires a certain type of subjective experience that cannot be replicated by machines.
Of course, it is possible that AI will eventually develop a subjective experience that is indistinguishable from human consciousness, but that remains a topic of debate and speculation. In the meantime, it is important to approach the question of AI's capabilities with an open mind and a willingness to consider all possibilities.
